I wish I could’ve been there for this

Since I first heard Martyn Bennett’s Grit I’ve been a fan, and so sad to know that his untimely departure means we will never hear anything new from his amazing musical talent. Even so, it’s good to know that his musical legacy lives on.

I wish I could’ve been there for this, but even though I can’t I’m just glad that it’s going on.

I always wanted to be Jim Rockford

I did. I mean, who didn’t? He was just so cool. Never really phased by anything. The Rockford files is still awesome to this day. I’m slowly making my way through season 1 and will then pick up season 2 immediately afterwards.

And I’m enjoying every episode too, especially the phone messages at the start of every episode!

Going over the pages

There’s actually a lot of pages on this site with a wide variety of information in them about stuff. As I’ve moved the site over from my old .com site I thought I should really go over all the pages and check them for errors, especially about downloads which are a little more problematic using wordpress.com.

So over the next few weeks I should have reviewed the lot.

Restarting iOS Automation and beyond

That sounds a bit Buzz Lightyear doesn’t it. It probably isn’t nearly that cool though sadly. Automating doing stuff on your iPhone doesn’t have the same appeal as being Buzz Lightyear. Anyway, back to the subject in hand. I do post about this from time to time. I mention stuff about automating and how it can save time and get things done quicker etc. However, I’m not entirely good at practicing what I preach. My own experiments in automation haven’t been as fruitful. But I plan to change things over the next few weeks and months.

My plan is to find ways of automating things that I actually need to do rather than just automating stuff that seems cool. I also want to only automate when the process of automation doesn’t take so much time to set up that it actually outweighs the time saved in automating whatever it is I wanted to do. Does that make sense?

I’d also like to automate across platforms, into the real world where possible with stuff like WEMO, and find ways to get things done that make sense for me. That’s the plan anyway. I’ll be posting about what works, what doesn’t, what I just don’t get at all, and the stuff I find useful along the way. I hope that it’ll help me or rather, motivate me to get on with it, and it might be useful for one or two people out there too. We shall see.
